The Peahen
An inn called The Peahen existed at this site in at least the 17th century. However, the current building dates from 1898, when the previous timber framed building was demolished and rebuilt. It is locally listed.
It is situated at what was once one of the most important crossroads in the country, being at the meeting point of what were, prior to the building of the M1 Motorway, two of the key roads from London to the north, the A5 and A6 (now renumbered the A5183 and A1081 respectively). The resulting traffic problems led to the junction seeing one of the earliest installations of traffic lights in the country.
